 As always game discussion is dominated by the very vocal minority. The "many" you speak of are almost certainly a very small minority of gamers who bought the game.

the DLC will be worth it. The game was incredible to begin with and getting extra content long after beating the game makes it worth the effort to play through whatever new stuff you get.

After having played through the unreleased and unknown downloadable content multiple times, I'd say definitely.

 

My question was-will the game be worth replaying by the time the DLC comes out.2009?

Where are you getting 09 from? I'm almost 100% sure I saw it advertised on the window of HMV that DLC will be out Autumn 08. 

EDIT: Thinking about it, it seems daft for MS to wait so long to release DLC so late.  Wouldn't it be best to capitalise on GTA4's popularity early(ish) and sway potential PS3 customers towards the 360 early on.

Go to any forum and mention GTA4.It is synomanous with disappointment.The internet is not a minority.

I cant imagine the DLC being anything special... Microsoft just threw a load of money at Rockstar so that they could say.....

"hey gamers, not only is GTA4 on our console as well, but we've secured....some sort of extra stuff baby! We have no idea what it is but....FUCK YEAH! WOOOOOO! Suck my balls sony!"



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

MS has still been saying the DLC is scheduled for Fall 08 (original date), but R* has already issued their statement that it's not going to be available until early 09.

Either MS didn't get the memo, or they know something the developers who created the game and extra content don't.

In all seriousness, I really couldn't see anyone but the most die hard GTA fans paying for the extra content, even if it did make the original Fall 08 distribution time hack. Especially if it is being priced at $30, putting it on par with an expansion like Shivering Isles for Oblivion.

At best, the 360 version could see a modest bump in sales when the DLC finally becomes available. Seeing as how there should be some premium new 360 titles available this Fall (GoW2), essentially, that's what the DLC would be competing with.

MS would almost be better off re-releasing the game as a GotY edition with the extra content.
